Millicent still struggles to reconcile this act of cowardice with the image she held of Lucinda.

She dreams of a life where she can use her talents to help others without compromising her values.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent believes Josephine Blackwood views her and the other workers as expendable cogs in her machine, necessary for the railway's success but ultimately replaceable. This belief stems from a few key memories. Once, Millicent witnessed Blackwood coldly dismiss a worker's concerns about unsafe working conditions, prioritizing the railway's schedule over the man's safety. Another time, Blackwood refused to offer any assistance to a family who lost their home in a fire caused by a spark from a passing train, stating it was "an unfortunate incident" and not the company's responsibility.
